Using up Kits

I always find that I am buying stuff and ot using it. I bought a couple of the Baby Girls simply scrappin kits from stampin up last year and hadn't really used a bunch of it yet. I was able to use up some of the kit making this card.

A friend that worked in the same mall as me had a baby girl a while back and his is the card that I made for her. I don't think that I have posted this before but frankly, I am to lazy to go back and look...lol.

The card is 4.25 square and super bulky!! The strips going across are all parts of the card stock sticker borders and then I pierced in between some of them.

This is the inside of the card. The flowers and stems are also the card stock stickers. I stamped the happy new baby from the bitty baby blessings stamp set (Papertrey Ink) on a tiny tag from Cuttlebug.

All in all it turned out pretty good and I am so glad that I did not have to mail this baby!

Supplies: Stampers select, dark chocolate card stock & ink, Spring Moss card stock, bitty baby blessings stamp set (Papertrey Ink). All Card stock Stickers, buttons, Congratulations Stamp, twine and piercing tool (Stampin Up). Lace from Trends (walmart). tag (Cuttlebug).

See you all tomorrow for a super fun new style challenge from the Loonie Stampers Challenge! You DON'T want to miss this one.

The Best Teachers!

I love the Teacher's Apple set from Papertrey Ink. It is by far the best I have seen in this category of stamps, not that there are many out there. I plan to make a few more of these as there are so many great teachers out there I think my Family members would love to give to their kids teachers.!!

And of course here is the inside picture, which I have not done lately on all my cards. I used layered pure poppy under the white but scalloped the edge first. I thought it really dressed up the inside, enough that the only thing I felt it needed was a couple little red apples. Please Note: These apples are from the Limitless Labels set from PTI not the Teacher's Apple Set.

Supples: Baja Breeze C/S (SU), Kraft, Pure Poppy & Stampers Select C/S (PTI), Baja Breeze ink (SU), Pure Poppy Ink (PTI), Hounsdtooth embossing folder (Cuttlebug), Marvy Giga Scalloped Circle & Mega circle. Teacher's Apple & Limitless Labels Stamps (PTI), Pure Poppy Saddle Stitched Ribbon (PTI), Slot Punch (SU).

THANKS...a bunch!

Isn't this color fabulous? It is my new favorite I think which is odd because if you know me well, you likely already know that I am not a huge fan of pink. But Raspberry Fizz is SO vibrant how can you not be happy looking at this color. I also enjoyed using a new stamp from SU that is going to be in the new catalog from a hostess set called "A Little Somethin'"

Supplies: Raspberry Fizz, Aqua Mist & Stamper's Select c/s, Raspberry fizz mix pattern papers, raspberry fizz perfect match palette ink, Lavender Moon Saddle stitched ribbon All from Papertrey Ink. A Little Somethin' Stamp Set, and Pale Plum Ink from Stampin Up!, Rhinestone Flwer from Michael's. Other: 1 3/4 circle punch (SU), Scalloped Circle (Spellbinders)

Loonie Stampers Challenge #21 X 3

Tell me that these 4 colors are not FANTASTIC together?!?!?! CHAR picked it good this week!!! I loved them so much that once I did the first card, I was SO inspired I did a second and a third! I also do not see and end in the near future of using these colors. So Enjoy my massive post today and don't forget to visit my girls.

WENDY CHAR REGAN DEE MARIA

So this card I used a Stampin' Up! Simply Scrappin' set, which I LOVE. I plan on making a flippy album thingy (yes that is the technical name for it) For McKayla's Birthday pictures. Her B-day is coming up on the 18th of January and she will be 5. So this card is for her!! I used my Top Notes die that I just got from SU and I cut out sweet blush and the PP. I trimmed the perforated edge of the note on the PP and layered it on the blush. I also distressed the edge of it a bit. The Make a wish portion is some of the Card stock sticker border from the set as is the cupcake, candle, flower, happy circle, the 5 and the th.

The inside...So beautiful I hate to write on it with my messy handwriting...lol

Don't you just love the dimension? Ok I don't care if you don't, I do! haha


This next card, I stamped the baja layer with the swirly flower from the PTI Garden of Life set in fresh snow. (it matches the swirls in the heart, that Nichole is so clever). Anyways I embossed it with some clear sparkle stuff and stamped the mini heart all over with versamark. then I added the spring moss ribbon over scalloped red. I stamped the sentiment also from the Heart Prints set. Last I stamped with fresh snow onto pure poppy card stock and punched it out. Then I added the eyelet and string to make them into balloons. I may go back on this card and add crystal effects to them to add more of a balloon look to them.

This card was ridiculously easy peezy! I layered the tree colors after adding ribbon. Tied a quick bow and added it. Then I used glue dots to adhere the leafy ribbon that my dear friend Char bought for me (Thanks Babe!) then I stuck some SO CUTE Martha Gerbs to the card. Quickly Stamped the bloom where you are planted sentiments from Spiral Bouquet and presto. Cute Card, Little Time.
